Exodus 21
1 Now these are the laws which you are to put before them.
Torej to so sodbe, ki jih boš postavil prednje.
2 If you get a Hebrew servant for money, he is to be your servant for six years, and in the seventh year you are to let him go free without payment.
Če kupiš hebrejskega služabnika, naj ti služi šest let. V sedmem letu pa naj odide prost, brez plačila.
3 If he comes to you by himself, let him go away by himself: if he is married, let his wife go away with him.
Če je sam prišel, naj sam odide. Če je bil poročen, potem naj njegova žena odide z njim.
4 If his master gives him a wife, and he gets sons or daughters by her, the wife and her children will be the property of the master, and the servant is to go away by himself.
Če mu je njegov gospodar dal ženo in mu je rodila sinove ali hčere, naj bodo žena in njeni otroci [od] njegovega gospodarja, on pa naj odide sam.
5 But if the servant says clearly, My master and my wife and children are dear to me; I have no desire to be free:
Če mu bo služabnik jasno rekel: ›Ljubim svojega gospodarja, svojo ženo in svoje otroke; ne bom odšel svoboden, ‹
6 Then his master is to take him to the gods of the house, and at the door, or at its framework, he is to make a hole in his ear with a sharp-pointed instrument; and he will be his servant for ever.
potem naj ga njegov gospodar privede k sodnikom. Prav tako naj ga privede k vratom ali k podboju in njegov gospodar naj njegovo uho prebode s šilom, on pa naj mu za vedno služi.
7 And if a man gives his daughter for a price to be a servant, she is not to go away free as the men-servants do.
Če človek proda svojo hčer, da postane dekla, naj ona ne odide, kakor storijo služabniki.
8 If she is not pleasing to her master who has taken her for himself, let a payment be made for her so that she may go free; her master has no power to get a price for her and send her to a strange land, because he has been false to her.
Če ne ugaja svojemu gospodarju, ki si jo je zaročil, tedaj naj bo odkupljena. Ne bo imel oblasti, da jo proda v tuj narod, glede na to, da je z njo ravnal varljivo.
9 And if he gives her to his son, he is to do everything for her as if she was his daughter.
Če jo je zaročil svojemu sinu, naj z njo postopa po načinu hčera.
10 And if he takes another woman, her food and clothing and her married rights are not to be less.
Če si vzame drugo ženo, naj njene hrane, njenega oblačila in njene zakonske dolžnosti ne zmanjša.
11 And if he does not do these three things for her, she has the right to go free without payment.
Če ji ne stori teh treh stvari, potem naj ta odide ven prosta, brez denarja.
12 He who gives a man a death-blow is himself to be put to death.
Kdor udarja človeka, tako da umre, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
13 But if he had no evil purpose against him, and God gave him into his hand, I will give you a place to which he may go in flight.
Če človek ne preži nanj, temveč ga Bog izroči v njegovo roko, potem bom določil kraj, kamor naj zbeži.
14 But if a man makes an attack on his neighbour on purpose, to put him to death by deceit, you are to take him from my altar and put him to death.
Toda če pride človek prepotentno nad svojega bližnjega, da ga z zvijačo ubije, ga odvedi od mojega oltarja, da lahko umre.
15 Any man who gives a blow to his father or his mother is certainly to be put to death.
Kdor udarja svojega očeta ali svojo mater, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
16 Any man who gets another into his power in order to get a price for him is to be put to death, if you take him in the act.
Kdor ugrabi človeka in ga prodaja ali če je le-ta najden v njegovi roki, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
17 Any man cursing his father or his mother is to be put to death.
Kdor preklinja svojega očeta ali svojo mater, naj bo zagotovo usmrčen.
18 If, in a fight, one man gives another a blow with a stone, or with the shut hand, not causing his death, but making him keep in bed;
Če se moža skupaj prepirata in je eden udaril drugega s kamnom ali s svojo pestjo, pa ta ne umre, temveč se drži svoje postelje;
19 If he is able to get up again and go about with a stick, the other will be let off; only he will have to give him payment for the loss of his time, and see that he is cared for till he is well.
če ta ponovno vstane in hodi okoli na svoji palici, potem naj bo tisti, ki ga je udaril, oproščen. Samo plačal mu bo za izgubo njegovega časa in poskrbel bo, da bo temeljito ozdravljen.
20 If a man gives his man-servant or his woman-servant blows with a rod, causing death, he is certainly to undergo punishment.
Če človek udari svojega služabnika ali svojo služabnico s palico in le-ta pod njegovo roko umre, naj bo zagotovo kaznovan.
21 But, at the same time, if the servant goes on living for a day or two, the master is not to get punishment, for the servant is his property.
Vendar če preživi dan ali dva, naj ne bo kaznovan, kajti on je njegov denar.
22 If men, while fighting, do damage to a woman with child, causing the loss of the child, but no other evil comes to her, the man will have to make payment up to the amount fixed by her husband, in agreement with the decision of the judges.
Če se moža prepirata in poškodujeta nosečnico, tako da njen sad odide od nje in ne sledi nobena škoda, naj bo ta zagotovo kaznovan glede na to, kakor mu naloži ženin soprog. Plača naj, kakor mu bodo določili sodniki.
23 But if damage comes to her, let life be given in payment for life,
Če sledi katerakoli nesreča, potem boš dal življenje za življenje,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
oko za oko, zob za zob, roko za roko, stopalo za stopalo,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, blow for blow.
opeklino za opeklino, rano za rano, udarec z bičem za udarec z bičem.
26 If a man gives his man-servant or his woman-servant a blow in the eye, causing its destruction, he is to let him go free on account of the damage to his eye.
Če človek udari oko svojega služabnika ali oko svoje služabnice, da le-ta propade, naj ga pusti oditi svobodnega zaradi njegovega očesa.
27 Or if the loss of a tooth is caused by his blow, he will let him go free on account of his tooth.
Če svojemu slugi izbije zob ali zob svoji dekli, naj ga pusti oditi prostega zaradi njegovega zoba.
28 If an ox comes to be the cause of death to a man or a woman, the ox is to be stoned, and its flesh may not be used for food; but the owner will not be judged responsible.
Če vol zabode moškega ali žensko, da umreta, potem naj bo vol zagotovo kamnan in njegovo meso naj se ne jé, toda lastnik vola naj bo oproščen.
29 But if the ox has frequently done such damage in the past, and the owner has had word of it and has not kept it under control, so that it has been the cause of the death of a man or woman, not only is the ox to be stoned, but its owner is to be put to death.
Toda če je imel vol navado, da je s svojim rogom bodel v preteklem času in je bilo to pričevano njegovemu lastniku, pa ga ta ni držal zaprtega, temveč da je usmrtil moškega ali žensko, naj bo vol kamnan in tudi njegov lastnik naj bo usmrčen.
30 If a price is put on his life, let him make payment of whatever price is fixed.
Če mu bo naložena vsota denarja, potem naj da za odkupnino svojega življenja, karkoli mu bo naloženo.
31 If the death of a son or of a daughter has been caused, the punishment is to be in agreement with this rule.
Če je nabodel sina ali nabodel hčer, naj mu bo storjeno glede na to sodbo.
32 If the death of a man-servant or of a woman-servant is caused by the ox, the owner is to give their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox is to be stoned.
Če bo vol pobodel sluga ali deklo, naj njihovemu gospodarju da trideset šeklov srebra, vol pa naj bo kamnan.
33 If a man makes a hole in the earth without covering it up, and an ox or an ass dropping into it comes to its death;
Če bo človek odprl jamo ali če bo človek izkopal jamo in je ne bo pokril in vanjo pade vol ali osel,
34 The owner of the hole is responsible; he will have to make payment to their owner, but the dead beast will be his.
naj lastnik jame to dobro naredi in da denar lastniku le-teh; mrtva žival pa naj bo njegova.
35 And if one man's ox does damage to another man's ox, causing its death, then the living ox is to be exchanged for money, and division made of the price of it, and of the price of the dead one.
Če pa vol nekega človeka poškoduje drugega, da ta umre, potem naj prodajo živega vola in razdelijo denar od njega; in prav tako naj razdelijo mrtvega vola.
36 But if it is common knowledge that the ox has frequently done such damage in the past, and its owner has not kept it under control, he will have to give ox for ox; and the dead beast will be his.
Ali če je bilo znano, da je imel vol navado v preteklem času bosti, pa ga njegov lastnik ni imel zaprtega, naj zagotovo plača vola za vola, mrtvi pa naj bo njegov.
